Etymology
'erratically-executed' originates from the combination of 'erratic' and 'execute'. 'Erratic' comes from Latin 'erraticus', meaning 'wandering', and 'execute' comes from Latin 'executus', meaning 'to carry out'.
'Erraticus' transformed into the Old French 'erratique', and 'executus' became 'executer' in Old French, eventually forming the modern English 'erratically-executed'.
Initially, 'erratic' meant 'wandering' and 'execute' meant 'to carry out', but together they evolved to mean 'performed in an unpredictable manner'.
